as exs24 converts from giga it just works fine here in logic.

also tiptop!

Actually, the man behind artvista puts a lot of passion into his work, and this can bee seen in the cool vibes as well.

I've got a couple giga hosts already (exs24 and Kontakt) but what would be the cheapest giga capable host for friends with fewer resources who might enjoy this piano.

I suppose the cheapest alternative is to get a sample format converter (Extreme Sample Converter, CDXtract or Translator), convert the .gig file to a soundfont and play it back in sfz (a freeware soundfont player from www.rgcaudio.com ). AFAIK sfz does direct-from-disk streaming so you won’t have to load the whole thing into RAM.

I haven’t tried this myself so I don’t know how well the .gig file will be translated, tho.

I have sfz, and have been thinking of getting sfz+ - does this piano work in the standard (as oppossed to the beta) version of sfz+ ?

thanks

On Pute's recommendation I bought the Piano and I also couldn't resist the Vibes too. I only loaded the piano up this morning but it is really warm, mellow and beautiful sounding - it also works really well with Trilogy's acoustic bass samples

No it doesn't and it never will.
All you can do is to convert the gig file to another format, like sf2 or the new sfz format.
